FREEDM One Unitized, Tight-Buffered,

Interlocking Armored Cables, Riser

Features and Benefits Corning FREEDM One unitized interlocking armored

Flexible, interlocking armor design
Up to seven times crush protection compared to unarmo-
red cables
Eliminates cable transition at building entrance
Reduces installation time and cost
Tight-buffered design
Eliminates need for fan-out kits
riser cables are standard FREEDM One unitized riser
cables inside a spirally wrapped aluminum interlocking
armor for ruggedness and superior crush resistance.
These cables meet the application requirements of the
National Electrical Code (NEC Article 770) and are
OFCR and FT-4 listed, as well as meeting ICEA S-104-
696 test criteria. Available in 62.5 m, standard 50 m,
laser-optimized 50 m, single-mode and hybrid versions,
the armored design allows easy, one-step installation of
cable, with no inner duct required, reducing overall instal-
lation costs.

Note: This cable is available in 12 different jacket colors blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose and aqua. The colored jacket
allows for easy visual identification of the cables while still providing all of the required environmental protection of an indoor/outdoor cable jacket. Black is the
standard jacket color using the part numbers shown here. Contact Customer Care at 1-800-743-2675 to order other color options.
